[Luke didn't look at her. He couldn't see her smile, or the way she reached out to him.
But he heard her warning and her laughter, and it makes him tense. Right now, Luke knows that he's in danger. He has to escape, or else she'll look into his eyes and -
He gets into a standing position, at least. Maybe he can talk to her, or let her at least touch him again, to try snapping her out of this. It wouldn't be that easy and he knew it, but there was something else at stake for him. Mainly, the fact that there were still the others in the village. She could outright attack them, without her knowing who they are. Luke, at least, had the luxury of her recognizing him. If she fed on him, or looked at him...
That's about all he can think of. His hand is still over his eyes, but they're also tightly clenched shut, as if he knows what's going to happen to him. He takes a step back, but even if he wanted to run, he wouldn't be able to see, knowing that she might be there in his path.]
